"Holy War"
I've spent 20 years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war
(Same for verse two)
'cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
(Verse 3 - same pregression as Verses 1 and 2)
(Chorus 2 - same as 1)
- -- Feeding the promised land
(I'm sure if he just changes his bass strings like C-B-A-G-E, or if he changes the entire chord as in C-G-Am-G-Em....anyway, he starts with C and ends with Em!)
- -- With your blood by my own hand
At Allah's own command
At Allah's own command
Lyrics:
I've spent twenty years learning to live In a world that takes back all that it gives But I do not want a war
I don't know what's going on In the scenes behind I worry about it some of the time And I hope there's not a war
'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand
And I would walk across highways To find my fate If that might settle your crude debate But I do not want a war
'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand
Feeding the promised land With your blood by my own hand At allah's own command At allah's own command
I came up from the desert and here I will die Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye Though I didn't want a war
I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand Oh yeah...
